Experience
Adam has been a leader in the tech media field for over a decade, with bylines at a number of different publications. When he's not hosting the Benefit of the Doud podcast, he's busy getting his hands on as many phones, tablets, and laptops as possible. He regularly uses both iOS and Android (six-month rotation for each), and he fully embraces technology. He hasn't carried cash money since 2018, and pays for everything with his phone wherever possible.
Education
Adam attended Northeastern Illinois University and earned his bachelor's degree in speech and performing arts with a minor in criminal justice, all of which shaped him into the fabulous writer you read today.
